NEW YORK – Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, the nation’s largest real estate investment services firm, has received the exclusive listing for a 10- property Dollar General store portfolio with properties located in Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and South Carolina. The $18 million listing price equates to $170 per square foot.
